10 years ago
HEALTH STATUS; Being

rest of my time? Sucks more.
Enough to make me quit?
I'm typin this.
There's your answer right there.
Shit I'm doing my best to slowly build an area and get the people&skills together to finish up making and running a functional fully scripted items-and-dice-and-all full RPG on Second Life!!!
SPEAKING OF GAME STUFF, I THOUGHT YOU FOLKS MIGHT LIKE SOME LORE/FLUFF~!
~~~~~A rare Zaephyri Origin/Creation
Myth, as rather spontaneously told in
the middle of an Culture lecture by
Loremaster Telgarilah just a few days
before his sudden breakdown into a
quote from witnesses: "Complete and
total alcoholic saturation" and
subsequent dissappearance;
"They say when this all very first
started, our dear world of Elegia was
a black ball of silent, sleeping
Baelstone, threaded through veins of
Auricite like full grown Wyrms; chunks
of Seer's Spine the size of horses,
absolute mountains of Palladium ore.
All riddled with tunnels by...things.
Colorless, lightless things devouring
eachother blindly in the Black.
Who is "they?"
Well the Zaephyri CLAIM to be the
First People, so I guessthe Zaephyri!
So according to the Zaph, not even the
gods could resist all that ore.
Just HAD to come start pokin' around;
SEVEN of 'em originally, even,
apparently!
Six lived through the first day.
It seems even the Gods can't keep
Baelstone from waking up, but those
THINGS that lived in the holes SWAM
in the shit when it started to flow,
sucked down the fumes like
pipesmoke, and just rolled in the
Baelfire, spread it around, and SANG
ALONG with the Dirge.
That's right.
THEY KNOW THE WORDS to that
insane "whisper" the Mindshredder,
the Dirge of Oblivion, "
They LIVED in
the bleakness that eats our memory!!!!
WE know the Five Gods.
Them Zaph say number Seven was the
Mama Boss, and she had some trick
that sealed these Baelstone-swimmers
outside of it so the rest could actually
have a fighting chance and escape,
but she got torn apart because the
sixth, the baby boy, couldn't leave his
creations, the Zaephyri, to die.
That part still pisses the Rherrol off.
Implyng Gods can die or that they
don't know all the names and have all
the Gifts. Worse that it'd be the Zaph's
fault! THAT'S why the Rherrol tried to
exterminate 'em!
So anyway, yeah.
The Six and the Zaph managed to
fight these horrors down, but Six was
so ashamed, he just... wept himself to
death.
His tears, blood, bones, flesh, it all
kinda... transformed as he sobbed
himself apart.
Mixed with all those ores, the shed
blood&all from the other Gods, you
know, the battle mess?
Changed as it went, too.
Went from pure grief to pure passion.
All the momories, the longings,
feelings, wants wishes,swirled up and
ignited.
So he just--- Suffuses this big
Baelstone ball in a sea of purest
Vibrance, seals them THINGS the rest
of the way up, you know so life can be
life, or so MOST of the Zeprhyri teach,
but their Doomsayers all rave about
how it wasn't QUITE perfect, and a
couple of them things are lurkin'
abound in the deep earth and such...
Eh.
's just Doomsayers...
Yeah...
Hey, who's in the mood togo get
sloshed, on me?"
~~~~~RACES AND PEOPLES~~~~~
Humans and have a good, strong
presence on Elegia, having arrived on
a crashed colony space vessel so long
ago. all memory of anything but once
sailing the stars has been lost; They
now make up over half the planet's
entire population!
~~~~~~
The diverse Anthros and various
demihuman breeds who fill a good
chunk of the other
half, from Drow Elves to Sergals, have
on the other hand mostly come in
small waves here and there over the
ages through various rifts, portals,
timeskips; about every imagineable
anthro and magical species from all
kinds of arrivals.
~~~~~~The Six Native Poeples;
(From an enscribed inclass discussion
between Loremaster Telgarilah and a
newly gated-in immigrant Anthro
student.)
"The Firstborn," the Zaephyri are a
rather reculsive reptile-avian people.
"Ohneat."
Physically characterised by their mix
of smooth supple light body scales
mingled with a blend of powerful near
armour-hard wings and 'furry' soft
body feathers with sleek dragonish
jaws and fierce, ridged Hawklike eyes
they possesss shieldlike clear scale
third 'eyelids'.
A drab-colored yet perhaps
surprisingly poetic poeple, uniquely
suited to their sandstorm winds-
scoured harsh rocky desert homes.
"Sound cute, got any pictures?"
==============
Ossurana: "Volcanic Forge-Lords."
Ferocious looking but peaceful
Black-glass dwellers, the Titanic
Pachyderm Ossurana range from 2.5
-3m. (7'6"-9ft) in adult height.
A massive horned-and-ridged shell
covers much of their bodies, with a
'skeletal plate armour' motif instead of
pangolin scale or armadillo bands;
"REALLY? What do they EAT!?"
"Whole shellfish, several kinds of rock,
the bones of any prey, fruit trees.
"...w-woahkay."
They possess agile primate-dextrous
hands and feet knuckled in knobbly
bone and tough wrinkly, fire-
retardant hide instead of digger's
claws.
Their uderbellies&other unarmoured
portions also bear hide so heat-
resilient, the beasts are known to go
into battle with their fists or powerful
Saurian tails wrapped directly in tar-
soaked
Their trunked heads bear their most
striking feature.
Tusked-AND-Undercurl-horned
ferocious-fanged "bare skull" looking
natural 'helmets' cap the heads of
most; females bear shorter horns and
tiny tusks but have sharper, stronger
fangs and more powerful trunks&tails.
==============
Rherrol: "Lords of The Seas"
It's gotten to the point that the
Rherrol may as damn well just be
described as "animate flaps of fish-
smelling skins with some kind of
limbs in there somewhere" they've
become so obssessed with obscuring
themselves.
Oh, "Some kind of limb and a
weaponStabhappy bastards are HAPPY
to share those, especially in the
middle of the night."
"Huh...Sound like real charmers,"
It's gotten a bit sad for sure, their
patron god's definitely got their main
secret-cult worked up hard. Ol'
squidface won't even let 'em speak
their own language in public Some
folks who were born here even really
DON'T know what one looks like.
Damn crazy Eel/Seal pricks.
Kinda cute like Sealfolk but with a lot
more fuggin' teeth in there and freaky
deepsea eyes, toughass knobbly ridgy
hides, NASTY claws fer some reason,
just mean head to toe. Short li'l shits,
top out 5 foot or so. Creepy, too.
"Loremaster," cuts in another student,
"Isn't that a bit harsh.... and biased?"
They're not ALL bad of course, no
species in the world possesses
universal traits of course, but yeaah.
Them eyes especially ive me the
godsbedamned cringes.
"Haha, spineless ol' bookworm.... You
know who spook ME, though? Them
Tekiktalli...
Brrrr.
"The Children of the Gearsong?
They're... different, yeah, but at least
they're peaceful unless you really
push, you know? Hell, the few I've
bumped inta've been outright gentlest
folks I've met! "
It's just... THEM. Period.
They're made like toys, not born....
weird metaly whirring magicy-doll-
things, and the way they can just
kinda... talk to each other all silently...
they gotta make folks into more of
themselves instead of breedin... metal
zombies..."
THAT one's untrue. They save folks
and put 'em back together with metal
bitssometimes, but they're actually
ALL still part flesh in them fullsuits
too! The Gearsong IS a bit unfair,
hahaha, but yeah. The Purebloods're
actually like... cute li'l Hive-city
buildin' rodent folks in there! They
just get all woven through with them
Auricrystal-Alki-cata-
Automechiwhatever suits at their
coming of age an' stuff! Never heard
of a cruel one, despite how crazy
strong. some of them suits can be.
That IS a bit weird I guess. Got funny
head wotsits and some funky smooth
parts and glossy armour in places,
though, kinda like bug parts?
"Damn am I glad they hate to fight. I
don't even wanna KNOW what kinda
weapons they could come up with...
"They HAVE weapons. They just ony
use 'em if severely attacked.
And no.
You really do NOT want to fight one.
==========
"Heeey... So what about the Photyrhyl?
They DAMN sure "don't breed like we
do." Hell, they goddamn well ARE
zombies! Sure, fungus-plant-vine-
things, but they LITERALLY grow out
of/animate&use what's left of dead
people!!!"
"Yeah, uh, but they're living things at
lea-"
"Oh Stuff it, I know EXACTLY Why you
don't care. The exact same reason
noody else does, hahaha. Not a one of
'em grown is less than some flavour of
disgustingly hot!"
"OK, guilty. Tend to be really friendly,
too.."
"....Wait wait wait , so there's like,
bone armoured omnnivore fireproof
elephants, unbonded self-aware metal
golems that're actually mole-termites
inside?, jerk fish-seals and slutty
Cordyceps Nymph people in this
world..? Ohyeah the cute fuzzy bird
dragons. Wellll...., I ended up
somewhere 'diverse'!"
==============
Don't forget the Matatua!
Everyone does until they either get
hungry.
"Joyful earth-tenders," You'll find
Matatua anywhere you can grow food.
They're the most common of the
native folk.
First in population last listed, ha.
Yeah. How it tends to go for the Mata.
They're "Just born farmfolk" and just
kinda do thier thing. They're generally
hese sorta square top, burly
shouldered, thick-fingered, just....
nice Mata farmer folks, you know?
Oh, no, you literally don't.
Mata are these kinda
Hyena/lizardkobold/fluffy monkey
folks.
So yeah like D&DKobold-Gnolls with
lots more mane and floofs and
prehensile tufty monkey tails. They're
generally just ten layers of generosity
hospitality an hard work. Love to have
company and party as long as the
work's all done.
So u know, mostly generic peasants
role with a couple twists, like the fact
that they tend to practice kung fu, an
"Giving is stronger than taking
culture," but yeah.
